The President of the United States helped his daughter celebrate her 18th birthday while singing “Happy Birthday” with Kendrick Lamar and Janelle Monae on stage.

“And just because it’s a job of a father to embarrass his daughters, I’ve got one last job,” Obama said at the end of his speech. “It just so happens that we celebrate our country’s birthday on the same day that we celebrate my oldest daughter’s birthday.”

“The President and Mrs. Obama announced today that their daughter Malia will attend Harvard University in the fall of 2017 as a member of the Class of 2021,” the office of the First Lady announced (via AP). “Malia will take a gap year before beginning school.”

Malia was reportedly choosing between a number of Ivy League schools, including Princeton, Brown, and University of Pennsylvania. She spent last summer interning on the set of Girls.

“When I first elected to this office, Malia was just 10 and Sasha was 7. And they grow up too fast,” Obama said during his remarks at the dinner. “Now Malia is going off to college … And I’m starting to choke up.”
